iPhone Fun
Published March 13th, 2009 in CapMacIf you have an iPhone and a library of music that you’d love to hear on your phone, this is for you.
• Open GarageBand and iTunes
• In GarageBand, open a new project and delete the default track (it usually opens with a Piano track; get rid of it by selecting “Track” from the Menu Bar and click “Delete Track”)
• Find the song you want to use in iTunes and drag it into GarageBand
• In GarageBand, click on the Cycle Region button (it looks like a version of a “recycle” image)
• Click the Measures button (the musical note to the right of the Cycle Region button), and select Time
• Edit the song’s length (keep it under 40 seconds) to what you want to loop as a ringtone
• When finished, select “Share” from the Menu Bar and select “Send Ringtone to iTunes”)
• In iTunes, you will see your new ringtone in the Ringtones section in the left hand column
If you’re a Windows user (why) click this link.
Have fun!
